FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Martellus Bennett will be returning home for Super Bowl LI. He goes back to Houston, where he was a two-sport star at Alief Taylor High School. Where he dreamed of catching a last-second touchdown pass to win the Lombardi Trophy. Where he envisioned himself draining an off-balance 3 at the buzzer to win the NBA title.
Actually, this isn't that kind of Super Bowl story. His childhood was nothing like that.
"As a kid, I wasn't thinking about that with my imagination," said the New England Patriots' pass-catching, pompom-waving tight end.
